A Quote by Frank Pittman

Common courtesy plays a big role in happy marriages. People who are permanently married are polite to one another. They don't want to hurt one another's feelings, and they don't try to make the other one feel humiliated. People who are married for life are extremely kind to one another.

The New Testament is peppered with "one another" reminders. While Scripture says to love another, encourage one another, offer hospitality to one another, be kind to one another, many people are content tolerating one another, if not ignoring one another.

Craig Groeschel

Spiritual Love is born of sorrow. . . . For men love one another with spiritual love only when they have suffered the same sorrow together, when through long days they have ploughed the stony ground buried beneath the common yoke of a common grief. It is then that they know one another and feel one another and feel with one another in their common anguish, and so they pity one another and love one another.

Miguel de Unamuno

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. I'm not happy. I don't know what's wrong. If I just had another job, I could be happy. If I just get married, I would be happy. Well if I just wasn't married, I would be happy. Well, if I just had some kids, I'll be happy. I'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. If I had a bigger house, I would be happy. Well, I got a big house. Now if I just had a maid to clean, I'd be happy. Well, now if I just had a maid I could get along with better, I'd be happy.

Joyce Meyer

It's funny: I feel like so many people say, 'Monogamy, it's not natural; we created that for a variety of reasons,' but I think a lot of people love being married and enjoy being married and want to be married to who they're married to.

Rosemarie DeWitt

It is not the smallest use to try to make people good, unless you try at the same time - and they feel that you are trying - to make them happy. And you rarely can make another happy, unless you are happy yourself.

Dinah Maria Murlock Craik

Respect is more than giving consideration of one's feelings. It is showing common courtesy for another human being.

Tom Baker

I feel that when two people are married - not that you have to totally give up your career - you have to spend time with one another, get to know each other more, just share things with each other.

Janet Jackson

Sometimes something catastrophic can occur in a split second that changes a person's life forever; other times one minor incident can lead to another and then another and another, eventually setting off just as big a change in a body's life.

Jeannette Walls

It's bad enough when married people bore one another, but it's much worse when only one of them bores the other.

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

I am convinced that human life is filled with many pure, happy, serene examples of insincerity, truly splendid of their kind-of people deceiving one another without (strangely enough) any wounds being inflicted, of people who seem unaware even that they are deceiving one another.

Osamu Dazai

There are several states where you can get married. But I think I can say without fear of contradiction, 'Paradise awaits.' We'll be happy to welcome you. And if you do get married in another state, think about honeymooning in Hawaii.

Neil Abercrombie

I knew I'd been given another chance, another life in Australia by my parents, so I didn't want to hurt them.

Saroo Brierley

I feel offended when people bring up my four marriages. I was 19 when I first got married and I thought it would be for ever. But each of my marriages has added to my life and helped form me as a human being.

Rosanna Arquette

I'm happy for people who want to get married but it's not my thing. I'm extremely happy in my relationship and I would love to have kids.

Charlize Theron

I think people get freaked out about getting married and spending 20 or 30 years sleeping with the same person, but if that's the case, don't do it. Have someone for 5 years and another person for another 5 years.
